Style Diary: Extremely Delayed Halloween Outfit

Hiiii everyone,

So even though Halloween was nearly a month ago, I did still want to share my homemade costume with you guys mainly because I really wanted to remember the tedious hours I spent making this costume.  Plus, this ties into the more personal aspect of my blog that has been missing recently mainly because I don't take my blogging camera out with me but I usually use my iPhone which unfortunately has lower picture quality.  I guess I have to suck it up and post my iPhone pictures or start remembering to charge my camera.

Ballerina Top - Garage / Tutu - Handmade (Tulle and Elastic from FabricLand) / Socks - TopShop / Shoes - Converse (Little Burgundy) / Flower Crown - BeauxBoutique

I don't know if you can tell from my picture but for Halloween me and a few friends decided to be fairies.  I did have a wand at school but somehow I managed to lose it throughout the day.  I would have worn wings but for those of you who do not know going through crowded high school hallways with wings is the definition of a nightmare.

So that was my school Halloween costume.  I hope you all enjoyed this post and I do have an actual style diary with a genuinely nice outfit (HINT: it's not all black???).  So even though this is extremely late, what were you for Halloween if you dressed up?  Thanks for reading, looove ya xx

Sweater Weather Tag!

Hiii everyone!

So today I have a quick tag post since it is my favourite season Autumn, and it is getting colder I figured I should do this tag before it snows where I live.  Now everyone is obsessed with sweater weather (which I alternatively call Leather weather because let's be real... I have a deep love for leather jackets) so I thought this tag would be appropriate and fun to do.  It also gives me a break to better plan my outfits since I have been getting lazy on the weekends recently (I do have my Halloween costume coming up next week even though its really delayed!!).  I'm just going to shut up and get into the questions.

1. Favorite candle scent?

There's a brand called Fringe and their candle in Rose Cassis is my favourite all year round however I do love Bombay's Jasmine Vanilla and the White Company's Wild Mint.

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?

Definitely tea, but now that it's red cup season I can't avoid my love for Peppermint Hot Chocolates at Starbucks.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?

I honestly cannot choose one, Autumnal season is always the funniest for me because it's not too cold or too hot so I usually go out every weekend and to choose one memory would just not be right.

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? 

DARK LIPS!! I was actually going to make a post about this but I adore dark red lipstick I think it looks amazing on and I recently purchased Dark Side by MAC and I am so in love with it.  I am also quite bias because I cannot evenly wing my eyeliner for the life of me.

5. Best fragrance for fall?

Once again, I do not really change my fragrance according to season mainly because I do not like muskier scents or cinnamon so right now I have been using Daisy Eau So Fraiche by Marc Jacobs.

6. Favourite Thanksgiving food?

Since I'm Canadian Thanksgiving was already in October for me.  My mum hates turkey so for Thanksgiving we usually just have prime rib but honestly I would take prime rib over turkey any day.

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?

It would be fair to say the weather this year is very undecided.  We're getting into the negative degrees lately so it is quite cold but there are weeks where it hits mid 10's.  

8. Most worn sweater?

I have way too many sweaters to choose one but I would say my Wildfox jumper or my black jumper from TopShop which I surprisingly do not think I have ever featured in a blog post.

9. Must-have nail polish this fall?

I love black nail polish for Autumn, the one I use now is by Barry M but this year, since I wear a lot of black clothing I've been loving dark red or burgundies, the one I usually wear is OPI's We'll Always Have Paris.

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?

Jumping in leaf piles no doubt about it.

11. Skinny jeans or leggings?

If I'm going out black skinny jeans!

12. Combat boots or Uggs?

Honestly, I am guilty of wearing Uggs but I hate them but no my animosity towards how ugly they are will not compromise the comfort I get while wearing them.  However, I live in my Doc Martens so can I be difficult and go with my Docs?  Also I'm currently obsessed with Chelsea boots!

13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?

I personally don't like pumpkin flavoured items...

14. Favourite fall TV show?

Awkward, hands down.  I am madly in love with Matty McKibben you have no idea.

15. What song really gets you into the fall spirit?

There's not one song that reminds me of Autumn that I listen to every year but I've been Luv, Don't Hold Me Down by the Drowners for this whole season!

So that's it for my post today!  I tag everyone who reads it to do this in the comments or even on your own blog even though you don't need to be tagged to actually do tags - down with social constructs.  I hope you all enjoyed and until next time with my very delayed Halloween costume a month after Halloween is over.  I'm so sorry that I have been so consumed in my social and academic life lately!  Love yoooou! xx

All Black Everything!

Hiiiiiiii everyone,

So black is back and better than ever and I for one could not be any happier!  This fall and winter season, all black outfits are the new trend.  I love wearing all black and I have a bit of an unrealistic goal to make my whole wardrobe all black (who am I kidding I love burgundy and navy too much) but a girl can dream.  This Autumn term the trends include a whole lot of black leather, sweaters and denim.  Excuse me as a shriek with approval.  Black is THE colour (or shade for all you colour snobs).  It's simple yet it's always fashionable and sleek.  Honestly, I could not be happier with this trend because in my case it's basically a life style.  Below are some cool street style dressed in black, head to toe, looks that i found browsing Tumblr.

So that's just a little update on the newest old trend.  A lot of my new style diaries are going to involve a lot of black since I do wear quite a lot of neutrals now (I essentially live in black and white currently).  I hope you all enjoyed this post and love that black is back because I could not be any happier. Thank you so much for reading.  Love yoooou xx

Style Diary: Leather Leggings

Hiiiii,

So sorry I haven't been able to update recently.  My life has been crazy busy trying to juggle senior year, univerisity applications, assignments and a social life.  Today I managed to come home a bit earlier than usual and decided to take a few pictures of my outfits.  My friends had a little music gig that I was invited to watch so I took this opportunity to wear my beloved (faux) leather leggings that you will probably see featured in many blog posts since I'm obsessed with them.  I highly doubt y'all read these little blurbs anymore so on with the pictures...

Top: Old Navy // Cardigan: TopShop // Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Leggings: Wilfred Free - Aritzia // Shoes: Madden Girl

So that is my little style diary for today.  I hope you liked this post and let me know how you style leather leggings because I always have trouble when it comes to styling these.  If you're looking to buy a pair of faux leather pants I would for sure suggest these, they are so comfy - even though they're pricey - I think they were well worth the money.  Thank you so much for reading I appreciate it so much.  Until next time, xx.

Tune Love!!!

Hiiii everyone,

So I would just like to apologize for the lack of blog posts.  School recently just started and its extremely hard to manage senior year, my social life and this blog so forgive me (once again) for neglecting you.  I got an email from a lovely follower (if you don't follow my blog already you should), complimenting my music taste from the music tag I did  - I would like to thank you again as it means a lot to me- and asking for me to do a blog post with my favourite songs.  Music is something I adore as you can probably tell with all the concerts I go to and I would love to share with you some of my favourite songs at the moment and hopefully these posts will make several appearances.  So without any more dumb text, let me get into my music (click the song name for a YouTube link to the song).

Piledriver Waltz - Alex Turner

Heart Out - The 1975 (the whole the 1975 album is great)

Whoever She Is - The Maine

No Interruption (Acoustic) - Hoodie Allen

Girlfriend - Phoenix 

Oceans - Coasts

Hannah Hunt - Vampire Weekend

No. 1 Party Anthem - Arctic Monkeys (fave band - this whole album is amazing!!)

Seaside - The Kooks

Hold On, We're Going Home - Drake (Arctic Monkeys cover)

Stella - San Cisco

Bravado - Lorde

The Wire - HAIM (all their stuff is great)

So those are a few songs that I've been loving and it could go on forever but you've got to draw the line somewhere.  I hope you guys like these posts and maybe even you like my music taste?? Anyways if you do like my music taste I have an 8tracks account where I create playlist.  Feel free to follow me on it.  Anyways, I will try my best to make another blog post when I can.  Have a great day cuties, love youuuu x
